Wayne High School

Summary:

Wayne High School is a public high school located in Wayne, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 146 students. The school has a diverse student population, with 62.33% White, 10.27% Hispanic, and 18.49% Native American students. However, the school's academic performance has been a concern, with its statewide ranking declining from 209th out of 424 Oklahoma high schools in 2010-2011 to 413th out of 439 in the most recent 2022-2023 school year.

One of the key issues at Wayne High School is its significantly lower academic performance compared to nearby schools. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 11.1% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, 8.3% in Mathematics, 5.6% in Science, and 11.1% in U.S. History. These scores are notably lower than the surrounding schools, such as Pauls Valley High School, which had 38.2%, 25.8%, 30.4%, and 57.1% proficiency rates, respectively, in the same subjects and grade level. Additionally, Wayne High School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 66.44%, compared to the nearby Washington High School, which had a 29.46% free and reduced lunch rate.

The analysis of Wayne High School's data suggests that the school may face challenges in providing adequate resources and support for its students, which could be contributing to the lower academic performance. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 19.2, compared to the surrounding schools like Maysville High School (10.3) and Pauls Valley High School (15.1), may also be a factor. To improve student outcomes, Wayne High School could benefit from learning from the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools in the Pauls Valley and Washington districts.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
